another sitting in the fall out chairs along the border playing share if this is where politicians from washington come to talk tough about the border keeping america safe. they don't actually come here with a circle the helicopters and then drive to the ranch areas feeding on the summer in their role county. one day they build taller fence and hire more agents and make it impossible to drive north without going to the border patrol agent check ports with dogs. nothing stops the flow of cubans going north. for years i walked mountains, the mountains and have taken note of your and try to differentiate between the mountain lion skat and the wildcat mines along the trail with a detailed and drilling down the hill. i think of all of the souls that what the mountains at night and the ones that scratched the hole in the mountain hoping to make small fortunes. some did but most did not and most of them died early. all this heavy-metal might be easier to forget if i hadn't heard heard the rumors that they would reopen the mine which would effectively alter the economic and cultural landscape of the town.

i don't think anybody in washington, d.c. really knows what will happen next. there are a bunch of theories. few that we're getting is that possibly the senate could come up with some sort of compromise that could be worked on. maybe teen president's plan goes the house floor, the $400,000 income tax rate plan. maybe we separate all the talk about entitlements and all the talk about the unemployment insurance going forward and those types of things and just work on the tax cuts specifically. but what we do know is that the senate will be back here on thursday the 27th. the house is on recess until possibly then. they could be summoned in on 48 hours notice. they could come up with a compromise. we don't know the pathway forward for that. we assume harry reid and president obama will get involved. how much a role john boehner plays the jury is still out on that. >> thanks, luke. have a good holiday. >> short and sweet for you. i wish i had more answers for you. >> kansas congressman tim huelskamp one of the four republicans stripped of his committee chair explai
